Tanker damaged, fuel leaks after New IMO-compliant fuels to emerge amid pricing and specification risks While fuel availability is unlikely to be an issue, ship operators will need to adjust to the new products and higher costs Could blending fuels hamper quality? Shipowners are becoming increasingly concerned that new low-sulphur blended fuels, which will enter the market in 2020, might be even more prone to contamination than fuels currently available. Fears over fuel quality were reignited when about 200 ships suffered damage to their main engines, and total breakdown in some cases, after taking on contaminated bunkers in Houston and Singapore earlier t BW LPG lines up to be the first with an LPG-fuelled vessel Pontus Berg explains retrofit job on VLGC quartet and why the fuel might have the edge over LNG LNG fuelling proves to be a slow burner for the industry But the next wave of newbuildings for deepsea vessels across all types could change that HSFO set for long life despite IMO 2020 deadline Even though there could be logistics challenges in securing supply, HSFO is not expected to disappear from the bunker mix with the number of scrubber-fitted ships set to increase Hapag-Lloyd prepares to test all 2020 compliance solutions Container line explains practicalities of plans to trial scrubbers and LNG fuelling SGMF digs deep into gas' impact from 'well to wake' One of the arguments voiced against LNG fuelling is that while it eliminates SOx emissions, reduces particulates to virtually zero and emits 90% fewer NOx emissions than existing heavy fuel oil, it still emits CO2.

"It will be cheaper than [other 2020] compliant fuel," BW LPG's head of technical and operations says. "I'm certain of that." He says LPG today is either cheaper or, at worst, on a par with heavy fuel oil and definitely priced lower than the 0.1% low-''sulphur fuel oil used in emission control areas and sulphur emission control areas, as wel Industry must go 'last mile' on LNG bunkers - Hapag-Lloyd Jorg Erdmann estimates that it will take until 2025 before there is worldwide LNG bunker coverage. Hapag-Lloyd's senior director of sustainability accepts that LNG fuelling might be available by 2020 in major ports such as Rotterdam, but says the big challenge is the robustness of the infrastructure on the main shipping routes.
